caesar (2575), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Jun 18, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy brown color, medium head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, hop, but also with some caramel and toffee. Taste of malt and caramel, slight bitter only. Decent stuff, but not exceptional.
Sammy (3141), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 3, 2008 Thanks Absumaster for delivering this good porter only available back home. Black and lots of off-white bubbly head. Lots of lace. Mollasses and sharp nose, also farmy-the yeast? Above average mouthfeel and a bit sour in the finish, like a dark Belgian. mabjork (576), Vasa, Finland Aug 13, 2008 Bottled. Thanx oh6gdx. Dark brown in color, beige head, lacings. The aroma is burnt malt with a sweetness. The aroma is dry, with burnt malt. There is a dry aftertaste.

Dark ruby color, small creamy tan head. Sourish roasted coffeish nose. Decent carbonation. Light roastyness, coffee and light licorice. Nice malt profile, oily mouthfeel, roasted aftertaste. There is also some sourness, seems that also Seppo and Patrik had it in their bottles, so it seems to be in all bottles of this batch ... a beer to try again. oh6gdx (6343), Vaasa, Finland Jul 29, 2008 Bottled. Quite coca-cola coloured with mediumsized brown fluffy head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some nuts, caramel as well as salted licorice and mild sour coffeeish notes. Flavour is roasted malts, sour coffee as well as salted licorice and mild notes of caramel malts. Good porter. sayravai (3186), Helsinki, Finland Jul 19, 2008 (Bottled, 0.75l, 5.2% ABV) Dark cola color with a medium, tanned head. Roasted-malty, slightly almondy aroma with sourish coffee and salty licorice. Pretty roasty, almost burned-malty, sourish and a bit ashy flavor with black coffee, some balancing caramel, and a reasonably long, dry, burned and bitter finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly thin palate with medium carbonation. A balanced and quite enjoyable porter with enough, but not too much color malt. These guys know how to brew.
